    Gutter cleaning a DIY job or not?

    I’ve lived in my two-storey house for 6 years and I’ve never had the gutters cleared. My friend said I should get someone in to do it for me but I don’t know what the state of them is. I’m worried I’ll be wasting money hiring someone. Are there any tools I can buy to clear them from the ground (not good with heights) or should I bite the bullet and get someone in?

    Internal RSJ building work

    I am having an internal wall taken down and RSJ put in but i would like the RSJ to be flush to the ceiling. The builder has said he needs to cut the joist back and then will re-join with 300mm joist screwed to the orgional ones and then hand these on the RSJ, is this strong enough ? or should bolts and longer pieces of timber used.. if bolts how many per joist should be used.
